Unannounced

2008
Performance with five texts printed on colored paper
8.7 x 11 in

Unannounced, was a performance staged for Frieze Projects at the Frieze Art Fair in October 2008. Each day at a predetermined time, pastel-coloured leaflets were distributed bearing texts that read variously as private letters, political commentary, or personal appeal. Written in 2008, in the early days of the global recession, the notes agitate at the boundaries between collective and individual distress. Reflecting on notions of inclusivity, exclusivity and advantaged information, the performance increases in intensity on each subsequent day of the fair.
